Keeping Up to Date 2025

Thu, 12 Jun 2025

Our Keeping Up To Date 2025 event took place on 12th June 2025 after an almost 10-year hiatus. This was a one day meeting focusing on current and emerging issues in occupational lung disease. 

The in-person event was a great success, with more than 60 delegates attending from occupational and respiratory medicine sectors. The event was accredited by the Royal College of Physicians for 5 CPD points.

The Lungs at Work team presented case studies on patients with a range of occupational lung diseases including artificial stone silicosis, updates in lung function and asthma management, immunology and allergies, and a featured talk from international sleep specialist, Dr Alanna Hare.

And, of course there were lunch and tea breaks, and ample opportunity for discussion!

The event went so well that we are excited to plan another KUTD event annually – watch this space for the date and programme for 2026. You can also sign up to our event newsletter to get updates on all our upcoming events.

Here is an insight into what delegates enjoyed about this year's event:

  • "Case studies and the opportunity for questions. Wide range of topics covered. Kept to time and good break timings. Nice lunch. Lovely industrious but relaxed atmosphere."
  • "Real life cases, open discussion, all the staff and delegates relaxed and a sense of "fun", meeting colleagues."
  • "Speakers were very approachable. They had a good awareness of what is not available in a non hospital setting. Interesting cases which were presented well."
  • "The friendly, welcoming, informal atmosphere but retaining a lecture theatre presentation. The knowledge that there was such a good team running a comprehensive service purely for occupational lung disease-this was so enlightening and reassuring. The tea breaks were welcome!"
  • "It was excellent, good to be face to face, last came to a face to face before Covid, but as previously what a great team, so knowledgeable, so friendly and supportive of each other and us as the audience, great topics, well delivered talks, Lungs at Work as a resource for OH professionals is undeniably the best resource we have, it allows us to gain expert advice and refer without running the gauntlet of the GP system, which is currently creaking under the sheer weight of work, thank you..."
